Are you a healthcare practitioner that would like to get better clinical results? Would you like to also learn to prevent burnout and lead by example?
Or are you a member of the public who is interested in health, functional medicine, and meditation? Do you want to learn to become healthier and happier?
Dr. Miles Nichols is a functional medicine and oriental medicine doctor who specializes in empowering people to take charge of their health and recover from chronic illness. In this workshop, Dr. Miles will not only teach about the art and science of nutrition, but also guide those of the group who would like (optional) through a fasting-like diet (still eating limited amounts of food in a way designed to reap the benefits of a fast).
Fasting Mimicking Diet has been shown in research to:
Reduce inflammation
Improved immune function
Promote fat loss while preserving muscle
Improve cholesterol and blood pressure
Promote longevity (increase telomeres)
And much more
Dr. Miles will reveal and demonstrate how he moves patients in his clinic through a similar process with discussion about the incredible results for reversing chronic disease. At the same time, he will sort through the conflicting information about different dietary plans including paleo, low FODMAP, ketogenic, Mediterranean, vegetarian, and vegan diets. He will discuss what research has shown as well as his clinical experience with treating different chronic diseases. He will reveal his #1 dietary strategy for weight-loss that often gets people past plateaus without having to count calories.
In addition to nutrition, Dr. Miles has found that Sheng Zhen Meditation is equally as powerful for reversing chronic illness and restoring happiness. Dr. Miles will teach a moving form and a non-moving meditation practice that students will be able to take home with them and do for themselves. In a small pre-post lab test with 3 clients that Dr. Miles performed in his clinic, he found that cortisol (a stress hormone) decreased by 11% and DHEA (a longevity hormone related to immune health, bone strength, and fat burning) increased by 25%! This was after just one weekend of Sheng Zhen Meditation training without any supplements or dietary changes.
Please join us for a transformational experience and to learn and better understand how to help yourself and others in your life to reverse chronic illness and restore health and happiness!
